A SOUTHERN INDUsTRY.-According to
a correspondent of the New York CONNER
cial Adrertiser, the largest house in the
world engaged in the collection Of medicin-
al herbs, roots, barks, gums and berries is
conducted by two brothers at Statesville, n.
G. These brothers do business of 81 900
o year, handling more than 1000 varieties,
weighing upwards of 100000 pounds.
Shortly after the war they started business
in a very small way. At first they dealt
chiefly in ginseng, for which there is always
a big demand in China. Snake-root was
also looked after, and the business grew to
such an extent that the brothers secured the
service of an eminent botanist. The traffic
increased until 1000 persons are kept busy
collecting herbs and delivering them to 400
or 800 different stores scattered over some
thirty counties in Western North Carolina.
These collectors are chiefly women, children
and old men.-Atlanta Constitution.

And pretty soon he arose and went on his
way. The. next morning he called upon an
eminent horologist and asked him what

goes" And the young man was sorely cast
down, and he grieved, and told no man of

HIS GENERosITY.-Some time since the
wife of Appointment citizen of New York
city was trying to instill in the mind of her
fve-year-old son what it meant to be gen.
erous, thus:
.'Now, Willie dear, suppose mamma
should give you a cake and tell you to
give part of it to Harry, and when you
divided it one piece was larger than the
other; if you gave it to him that would be
generous, but if you kept it for yourself
that would be selfish. Do you understand? ~
The little fellow thought he did.
The next afternoon, wishing to test the
effect of her teaching, she gave Willie a
I large, juicy orange, saying:
: '.Now Willie, take this orange and di-
vide it generously with Harry"
When to her surprise the child (who was
passionately fond of oranges) gave it back
to her saying, with roguish twinkle in
his bonny blue eye:
"Here, mamma! won't you please give it
to Harry and tell him to divide it gener-
ously with me. e."-Judge.

AN INQUIRY 'ANswERED.-Howw would
good ashes and ground bone do for corn ASA
fertilizer, or ashes and plaster?
If the writer has plenty of good wood
ashes and ground bone he need not despair
of raising good crop of corn, provided that
other favorable conditions, as season and
proper cultivation, come to his assistance.
In ashes and plaster without the bone he
will have less beneficial fertilizer. The
value of potash, the most important princi:
pie of ashes, every farmer comedies, but all
farmers do not agree about the effects of
plaster, many of them insisting that it is
worthless. It is not very expensive, how
ever.-American Farmer.
DON'T PLow TILL THE Soil Is FIT.-It
will be we'll for the farmer who would like
to be in advance with his spring work to
put in the plow at every favorable opportu-
nifty. Every acre plowed thus early is good
progress made and so much done toward
keeping off too much press of work by-and-
by, when score or more of other things de-
mand attention. But do not turn a furrow
unless the soil will crumble after the plow.
If it smears like mortar it is not in good
condition to work at. Lands plowed in
such state will sometimes be the worse for
it for a dozen years.
